Egypt’s high-end holiday stays continue to catch the attention of the int’l press

In a refreshing break from the war, Le Monde and the Financial Times are both out with pieces highlighting two of the country’s most expensive stays. While Mounir Neamatalla’s increasingly well-known Adrère Amellal ecolodge in Siwa is yet again getting ink, the salmon-colored paper is looking at the newest addition to the country’s list of high-end boutique stays: Villa Fayoum. The guesthouse in Fayoum’s Tunis Village, put together by Florian Amereller and Zeina Aboukheir, is part of a broader — and seemingly successful — push to diversify the country’s tourism market to also cater to higher-spending tourists looking for boutique stays.
